Hi

So i abused a narcotic for around 6 years on the daily and i feel like ive permanently done something to my brain to the point where i dont feel like i can connect with myself (im not sure how to word it) anymore.

i can’t recall things as easily such as dreams or day to day life, and i feel like there’s always something dividing me when i try to raise energy or tune in.

I was just hoping for some experiences or some advice so i don’t feel so alone, as it’s been really getting me down since i’ve started taking my practise more seriously.

thanks in advance :)

Hi

I’m 25 and i’m looking for apprenticeships, yet i keep getting to interview stages and loosing out. I understand they’re very competitive, however I’m not sure where I’m going wrong.

I’ve been working since i was 17 and progressed in my first role to a management role. I left that after 6 years because I didn’t enjoy the constant unsociable hours, and since then i’ve done sales, and now i’m in a part time catering job. In total i’ve had 4 jobs including my current job in the last 8 years, so I don’t think it’s job hopping that’s off putting.

I got good GCSEs before i left school, I’ve done courses in my own time to upskill (i’ve got a level 2 digital marketing certificate and i’m currently doing a cpd verified online business management course). i’m also learning spanish in my spare time, all of these which show initiative.

I’ve spoken to a career coach and we polished my CV up so I know that’s not the issue and is probably why I’m getting through to the interviews.

I do get quite anxious however I’ve done a lot of interview practise. I’ve gone in prepared with generic question answers (why do you want this job etc) and examples of when I have achieved certain things in my last job. I’ve also practised not saying fillers such as repeating the questions or going “ermmmmm.” I know i present well in how I dress as well, so i’m not worried about that.

I’m learning how to drive but I don’t apply for jobs that specify driving licences and a lot of the time I don’t get asked if I can so I don’t think that is a problem. I also live in a good area for public transport.

I’m genuinely at a loss at how to make myself more employable. I’m starting to feel like it’s my age, as all these apprenticeships stretch over a year and at the year mark they have to start paying minimum wage. This is the only way I can get a level 3 qualification currently as paying to do a-levels is not very cheap.

Any advice is welcome, thank you

Hi!

So i got a little bit tipsy over the weekend and in my inebriated state all I could think was “i need to buy agrimony.”

I was fortunate enough to be close to a metaphysical store so I did go and purchase some agrimony.

I know it can be used in protection and to aid sleep, i’ve seen a lot about putting it in little sachets, but I was just interested in anyone’s uses for it, as i don’t have a specific idea of how to use this lovely herb.

side note: i also brought a poisonous herb grow kit but i have two lovely cats so if anyone has any suggestions for indoor planters or set ups that will be pet proof that would also be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance!
